The nations Of central Europe, like the savage Teuton chief with whom Julius Caesar treated 2000 years ago, thought their lands too small for people of their importance and dignity, and they set out to conquer the rest of the world. Their ignominious failure has taught the world that the rule of right must be substituted for the rule of might.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geography of Europe IN this volume I have sought to present a general geographical sketch of Europe, and of the various States into which it is divided. In the case of each country the physical features are first described; then an attempt is made to mark the stages of its history, so far as they are related to geography. Next I have brought together some of the leading facts relating to government, population and national character, religion and education, and industry and trade. Finally, an account is given of the principal towns, these being generally grouped under the historic divisions to which they respectively belong. For the reason stated in the text, only a short chapter on the British Isles has been written. This may suffice to show how closely Great Britain is associated with the Continent, with which it was at one time connected by land.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Geography of Europe, Vol. 1 of 2 I hope that I have made the object of the work clear in the Introductory Chapter. It is really a very humble one. It aims at little more than tracing out the extent of various states at different times, and at attempting to place the various changes in their due relation to one another and to their causes. I am not, strictly speaking, writing history. I have little to do with the internal affairs of any country. I have looked at events mainly with reference to their effect on the European map. This has led to a reversal of what to many will seem the natural order of things. In a constitutional history of Europe, our own island would claim the very first place. In my strictly geographical point of view, I believe I am right in giving it the last. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

They have supplied the flesh and blood necessary to clothe the dry bones of the geographic textbooks, and have made the countries and peoples living wholes in the minds of the pupils. Written in the form of personally conducted tours over each continent, the children themselves have traveled with the author by land and sea from country to country and from city to city, visiting the peoples on their farms and in their factories to learn how they live and work, and how each is associated with us and the other nations in the industries and trade of the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe: A Supplementary Geography The relations between North America and Europe are so numerous and so intimate that the study of Europe should follow that of our home continent. There should be constant comparison as to position, surface, climate, and human conditions. This comparison presents a review and a new view as well. More attention should now be given to connecting cause and consequence, to map study, and to the use of illustrations. It will add interest and profit to the work if pupils are given an opportunity to trace the journeys which relatives or friends may have made in European countries, and to tell something of the geography of the countries and cities visited. We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. George Howell and Professor S. Webster French, of Pasadena, and Dr. Walter A. Edwards, of the Los Angeles High School, for the excellent illustrations furnished by them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Topical Outline of the Geography of Europe, Developed According to the Problem Method and Including the Changes Brought About by the War Southern Europe is a rugged broken region presenting a great contrast to the rest of the continent. The higher moun tain slopes possess an arctic climate while some of the more sheltered valleys are almost tropical. Although the region is very mountainous we would be wrong to think of it as being wholly so. Many valleys border the Mediterranean Sea, some of them being of great extent while within the mountains are even larger plains and plateau.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World and Its People: A New Series of Geography Readers 1. Last year we studied the geography of our own country, England and Wales. This year we shall cross the " Silver Streak," and give our best attention to the great European continent, of which our islands are only an outlying part 2. Let us suppose that we have ascended in a balloon, so high that the whole of Europe is spread out below us like a map. What do we see? We see a great land mass, washed by the ocean on the north, west, and south sides. We notice that the sea runs far into the land, and that the land mass thrusts out to the north, west, and south great rugged peninsulas, something like the arms of a star-fish. 3. If we look towards the east, we find that our continent merges into another still greater land mass, the continent of Asia, and that it is difficult to say where Europe ends and Asia begins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Environment and Nation: Geographical Factors in the Cultural and Political History of Europe The author places above all other considerations the preservation of World Peace; so that he believes that all educators should keepever in mind the saying In times of Peace, make Peace secure. It is his belief that no one can properly understand the European Political Complex without knowing the fundamentals of the Cultural and topographic background. These interact, and it is precisely because the geographies omit the Culture and the histories omit the Topography that the writer ventures to hope that this book will find a useful place in the classes of both subjects. Needless to say, many books have been consulted and the chief of these are listed in the footnotes. But there are half a dozen which should be in the library of every student in this field, and I am glad to acknowledge my indebtedness to them here.

Download or read book The Frontiers of Language and Nationality in Europe Classic Reprint written by Leon Dominian and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Frontiers of Language and Nationality in Europe This book is submitted as a study in applied geography. Its preparation grew out of a desire to trace the connection existing between linguistic areas in Europe and the subdivision of the continent into nations. The endeavor has been made to show that language exerts a strong formative influence on nationality because words express thoughts and ideals. But underlying the currents of national feeling, or of speech, is found the persistent action of the land, or geography, which like the recurrent motif of an operatic composition prevails from beginning to end of the orchestration and endows it with unity of theme. Upon these foundations, linguistic frontiers deserve recognition as the symbol of the divide between distinct sets of economic and social conditions. The attention bestowed on the Turkish area has been deter mined by the bearing of the Turkish situation on European inter national affairs and in the earnest belief that the application of geographical knowledge could provide an acceptable settlement of the Eastern Question. Never has it been realized better than at the present time that an ill-adjusted boundary is a hatching-oven for war. A scientific boundary, on the other hand, prepares the way for permanent goodwill between peoples. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geographical Essays on Eastern Europe This volume of essays began as a symposium on Eastern Europe, held at the annual meeting of the Association of Amer ican Geographers, at Dallas in April 1960. Three of the papers read at that meeting are published here, but unfortunately it did not prove possible to include a summary of points raised in the discussion, as no record was kept at the time. It was decided to supplement the original papers with papers invited from East ern Europe. Fortunately Doctors Kosinski, Kuklir'iski and Roglic' were able to accept the invitation to contribute. The editor wishes to express his appreciation of the helpfulness and consideration shown by the contributors and also of the invaluable assistance given him in preparing their contributions for the press by Mr. Theodore C.

Download or read book Europe in the Middle Age Classic Reprint written by Oliver J. Thatcher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe in the Middle Age The earth is not merely the scene Or stage on which history has been enacted, but by its physical forms and climate it has also affected the course of history. It is, therefore, necessary to keep in mind the physical geography of Europe, and to be constantly on the watch for its effects on the development of the peoples and states of Europe. Keeping in view the gen eral Character of this book, it would be out of place to do more than call attention to its mountain systems, its plains, its coast, its river systems, and its Climate, and the effects which they tend to have on the life of its peoples. Because of its varied natural conditions Europe is better fitted than any other continent to develop a high Civilization. It has the advantage of size because it and Asia are so joined that they form but one great land mass and are, therefore, but one continent; it is fortunate in its zonal situation, for, al though it extends from the tropical to the arctic, the most of it lies in the temperate zone; it has a great variety of relief and contour, being rich in mountains, valleys, and plains; it has a varied Climate; its river systems are admirably arranged to promote travel and commerce; its rainfall is abundant and fairly well distributed; its flora and fauna are richly diversified; it has, in proportion to its area, the greatest length of coast line, with a large number of good harbors, and, on the whole, an excellent coastal zone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Geography in Western Europe: A Study in Appreciation This book contains a selection of the con tents of lectures and discussions in a class in Human Geography at Aberystwyth during the last ten years. In such Work as this every limitation of the Writer inevitably makes itself felt, and yet, as it is of the nature of an appreciation rather than of a professedly complete study, the personal note is a necessity. It may be said to be an early draft of an attempt to appreciate the genius loci of some of the human groups Which have become accustomed to live and act as such in Western Europe. It tries to visualise those groups with their varied racial elements making their several contributions Within each, While the group as a Whole in turn makes its cumulative contribution to What may become a community of civilisation. The effort is therefore made to study human experience in each region in concrete fashion, With attention directed continuously both to man and to his environment, and this, it is urged, is an essential task of the geographer.

Download or read book Carpenter s Geographical Reader written by Frank George Carpenter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carpenter's Geographical Reader: Europe This book aims to give the children a plain and simple de scription of the countries of Europe as they are to-day. The method is by taking the little ones on a personally conducted tour over the continent. It is the children themselves who cross the Atlantic Ocean, steam over the Baltic and the Mediterranean seas and down the historic Rhine and the Danube. It is they who Climb the Alps and stand on the North Cape watching the sun shine at midnight. It is they who go from city to city, from farm to farm, and factory to factory, seeing how the various peoples live and what they are doing in the work Of the world. It is they who are admitted to the palaces, parliaments, and public offices where they learn how each nation is governed and something as to its civilization, commerce, and trade. It is not intended that these travels should take the place of the school geographies, but that they should be used with such books as supplementary reading. As in the volumes describing similar tours in North America, South America, and Asia, the text-books on geography may be regarded as the skeleton and this reader as the flesh and blood which will clothe the dry bones and make the countries a living whole in the minds of the pupils. A glance at the table of contents will give some idea of the scope and character of the work. The children, having crossed the Atlantic on one of the big ocean greyhounds, begin their tour in the United Kingdom. Landing at Queenstown, they explore Ireland, visiting Cork, Killarney, Limerick, and Galway. They cross the bog lands and plains to Dublin, and thence go to the Giant's Causeway and Belfast, where they learn how linen is made. From Belfast, they sail to Glasgow, and after spending a while in the Lowlands or Industrial Scotland go to Edinburgh by the Trossachs. They make a hunting trip to the Highlands, and visit the homes of Robert Burns and Walter Scott before crossing the border to England.

Download or read book Geography and History of New Jersey Classic Reprint written by Albert B. Meredith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geography and History of New Jersey The geography and history of any state are closely interwoven; New Jersey is no exception. Its coast position between two great cities, the long sandy stretches in the east, and the foothills toward the west and north have all combined to make of the history of this state not only an interesting story which every New Jersey school child should know but also one in which he should take great pride. It is the geographic conditions with which a people have to contend that determine to a great extent what that people shall accomplish. The authors of the present book have endeavored to show clearly and definitely the character of the land which we call New Jersey: how it has fostered farming, fishing, and manufacturing; how it has steadily made for progress; and how it has brought wealth to the inhabitants. New Jersey has been greatly favored and her people have accomplished much. The history of New Jersey began almost with the history of our country, and from the time when the first settlers reached her coast and laid out their small farms and towns there have been no movements in our national history in which the men and women of New Jersey have not done their part. It is presupposed that the children who study this book will be acquiring from other texts a general knowledge of United States history, and so only those events and incidents which are peculiarly a part of the history of the state of New Jersey have been included in this narrative. A brief outline of the civics of New Jersey is included which will furnish a framework of government in this state. From such a beginning the child may develop a wider and more thorough knowledge of local governmental problems.
